During a car collision, the knee, thighbone, and hip can sustain a force no greater than 4000 N. Forces that exceed this amount

could cause dislocations or fractures. Assume that in a collision a knee stops when it hits the car's dashboard. Also assume that the mass of the body parts stopped by the knee is about 20% of the total body mass. The person with a mass of 65 kg is initially traveling at 18 m/s (40 mi/h).

Answer:

a) t = 0.0585 s  

b) s = 0.5265 m

Explanation:

Given:

- maximum possible force F = 4000 N

- mass of person = 65 kg

- mass of knees and other m = 0.2*65 = 13 kg

- initial velocity u = 18 m/s

- Final velocity v = 0

Find:

a) Minimum stopping time

b) Minimum stopping distance.

Solution:

Minimum stopping time can be evaluated by Newton's second law of motion. Where change in momentum per unit time is Average force experienced by the body:

                                   F = m*(v - u) / dt

                                   dt = 13*(0 - (-18)) / 4000

Hence ,                       dt = 0.0585                

       

Minimum stopping distance can be evaluated by using equation of motions and required deceleration is as follows:

                                  a = - 4000  / 13

                                  a = -307.692 m/s^2

And,

                                 s = (v^2 - u^2) / 2*a

                                 s = (0 - 18^2) / 2*(-307.692)

                                s = 0.5265 m  

Answer: The minimum stopping time and distance are t = 0.0585 s and s = 0.5265 m, respectively.

Calculate the most probable speed of an ozone molecule in the stratosphere
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

v_{mp}=305.83 m/s

Explanation:

The temperature in stratosphere is generally about 270 K

molecular weight of an ozone molecule = 48 gm/mole

now formula for most probable velocity

v_{mp}= \sqrt{\frac{2RT}{M} }

plugging the values we get

v_{mp}= \sqrt{\frac{2\8.314\times270}{48} }

v_{mp}=305.83 m/s

What are three key aerodynamics principles?
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

There are three basic forces in aerodynamics: acceleration, which moves an airplane forward; drag, which holds it back; and height, which keeps it airborne. Lift is generally explained by three theories: Bernoulli's principle, the Coanda effect, and Newton's third law of motion.

serg [7]

An object is lifted from the surface of a spherical planet to an altitude equal to the radius of the planet.  

As a result, the object's <em>mass remains the same</em>, and its <em>weight decreases</em> to 1/4 of whatever it is when the object is on the planet's surface.

What happens to a light wave when it travels from air into glass?
tino4ka555 [31]
Light is refracted when it crosses the interface from air to glass in which it moves more slowly.
Since the light speed changes at the interface, the wave length of the light must change too. The wave length decreases as the light enter the medium and the light wave changes direction.
